The cherries on the square have not been nearly as beautiful as last year or the year before. But I suppose that's a byproduct of an unseasonably warm winter - these trees were almost in full bloom back in January! It's shame though, they can be really beautiful.
That's a nice shot, Hal. Well-composed and the colors are great and the light is super and the light makes it.
ReplyDeleteQuite a peaceful place to sit, though!
ReplyDeleteThey blessed in January, and may be forgiven for bowing out of the general Spring pageant, I think :)
ReplyDeleteAs long as they are blooming! Just hope the havest is good!
ReplyDeleteThey are decorative only. My MiL does have a fruit bearing cherry in her garden though. Usually we get a pretty good harvest.
DeleteYou captured some pretty shadows in this shot.
ReplyDeleteIt is still a nice place to sit!
ReplyDeleteYes, I just came in from a walk that took me past a couple of cherry trees that bloomed too early and got caught in the freeze.
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, Hal!
ReplyDeleteLast year was especially beautiful. The trees do have a graceful form even if you've had to forego cherry snow.
ReplyDeleteI think this place is always nice to sit down.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is really beautiful
Lovely atmospheric green composition.
ReplyDeleteYou are still ahead of the blooming season in Southern Ontario... but we are catching up.
ReplyDeleteI like the light and peacefulness in this image, and I clicked on the link to what it looked like before... also very pretty. I am waiting for signs of spring, and have found a few. That makes me happy! :-) It is getting colder again here up in the north now....
ReplyDeleteStill a lovely shot Hal. Gosh, looking back at last two years that tree is spectacular when in full bloom and with the colour of the benches oh la!

ReplyDeleteWow, they were blooming in January? That is crazy. Nature is getting so confused.
ReplyDeleteNature is never the same.
ReplyDeleteVery true!
DeleteCherries in January, as far north a you are! We're on about the same parallel as Rome and ours came and went in late March and early April.
ReplyDeleteThey don't normally bloom in January. When we came back from Florida, they looked about the same as they look in this picture. So I knew we wouldn't be seeing them in their full beauty this year.
DeleteThey are beautiful, and it must be nice to relax on one of those benches:)
